196285 - Overlapping text when Optima font is used?

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: Page Layout, defect)

Description

[Scott Forbes]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7

Camino appears to be miscalculating the required horizontal space when it
renders a page with the Optima font.  Text that precedes a URL, <code> tag or
other font/style change will overlap the text rendered in the subsequent font.

This may be a local font corruption problem, but if so it does not occur in
Explorer, TextEdit, or other applications.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the Camino home page.




I can provide a screen shot or additional details about my system if needed.

WorksForMe using Camino/2003030613. Scott, what Text Encoding is selected in the
View/Text Encodings menu when this happens?

Comment 2

[Scott Forbes]

Text encoding is Western (ISO Latin 1).

Scott, are you still seeing this problem with current builds? If so could you
please provide a build id and attach a screen shot if that's not too much trouble

Attachment: Screenshot of overlapping text

Submitting a screenshot.  I still see this problem in the latest builds, but
(after further investigation) only on the machine where I originally reported
it.  If no one else has reported this, I'd suggest closing the bug as a
suspected font corruption problem on my end.

I've created a second account on the same machine (for unrelated reasons), and I
noticed the problem is *not* occurring when running Camino from that account: 
Same machine, same fonts (?), but when I view the Camino home page from the
second account, the fonts are not overlapping.

Alex, can you confirm/deny Scott's report that this can be "fixed" by using a
clean profile?

Reporter, Alex,

Could this bug be mark worksform (is for me 2003082402) ?

I'm going to resolve this as WFM based on the original reporters findings... but
I suspect there really is some underlying graphics problem on OS X as there have
been a few other reports of this with other fonts.

Alex, if you try using a new profile and that does *not* fix this problem for
you please speak up and I'll reopen your original bug.
